A partial lunar eclipse will occur on Tuesday night (17), an astronomical phenomenon that attracts the attention of millions of people around the world. During this phenomenon, part of the moon was covered by the Earth's shadow, creating a visual spectacle that can be observed in different parts of the world.
The event could be seen in several areas, including all of South America, parts of North America, Europe, and Africa. In addition to the eclipse, Saturn shone brightly next to the Moon, making the spectacle even more impressive.
The event was widely recorded by people around the world, and the photos quickly gained popularity on social media.
In Brazil, the eclipse was visible across the region, although some locations had difficulty observing due to weather conditions, such as clouds or smoke from fires. However, many were able to follow the phenomenon online and share their images with the world. Even the reporter writing here took the opportunity to take photographs and recorded some recordings like this:
